Williams Lineages Underway

  This section is for people to post the various Williams lineages they are working on. This is an effort to publicize that brick wall you may or may not be hitting in hopes of finding others who either have information or are at the same wall. This section is now in a database and to make surfing the entries easier, I have set it up to display 15 lineages at a time. Simply use the next and previous buttons to navigate around!

   And, as another improvement to the site, you can now add your own lineage to the list without having to email me directly! Simply visit the lineage submission form and follow the instructions! It's as easy as that!

We have been searching for the father of our Barnabas HOWARD born 1791 in New York. His father's first name is unknown to us. His mother was named Mary-her maiden name is unknown to us. This article submitted by B. HOWARD to the paper in Gore District, Ontario, Canada is the best thing that we have to a clue of an ancestral relationship. Does anyone know anything about the old Mr. Edward WILLIAMS listed below in this old obit from 1824??? Mr. HOWARD was born in Lansingburgh, NY. His sister was married in Canajoharie, NY in 1809. Thanks for any help.

"Longevity"
Died the 2nd inst. in the township of Ancaster, Gore district, Edward WILLIAMS, a native of London aged 99 years 5 months and 24 days, he served his apprenticeship to a gunsmith, then joined himself to the King's armoury, was sent to Scotland, then to Ireland, thereafter to America in time of the French war, suffered much toil and privation in traversing rivers, lakes and forests, from Quebec to Michilimackinac. At the close of this war he settled in New-England and after the revolution emigrated to New -York state, with his family, his wife bore him 15 children, eleven of them , I believe are alive and have large families, he has left many grandchildren, some of whom are nearly forty years old, are settled and have large families. In 1817 Mr. WILLIAMS came to spend his days with some of his children who had emigrated to this province. His senses were perfect until the day of his death, ten days before he died he was repairing a firelock in his little shop and could see to do the finest of work without the aid of spectacles; he died without a struggle. These particulars were communicated to me, last post by Mr. B. HOWARD of Flamboro' West, grand-son of the deceased. M.

My Grandmother is Jo Ann Williams(1930-) with a sister Jean Williams. Their father is Millard Clay Williams(1905-1976) whose parents are Oker Price Williams(1880-1942) and Florence (no maiden name...yet...). I have not been able to confirm other children of Oker.

I have found information I belive correct:
Oker is the son of Nathaniel C Williams(1857-1910) and Julia Smith

Nathaniel is the son of Wiley Price Williams(1832-1899) & Emma Hatcher

Wiley is the son of Thomas W Willams & Sarah Price (1797-1880)

To this point, all of the Williams men are born in Virginia. I would like to go back further and wonder if anyone can help!

Thanks,
Stacey

Brick wall--Williams from Tennessee

GGGreat Grandfather: Robert L. Williams, born in Tennessee in about 1818 (was 32 in October of 1850), was in Sullivan County, Missouri by 1847 and married to Mary Ann (Polly) Morelock. When her father died in the line of duty as the first Sheriff of Sullivan County, he replaced him. Went on to serve in county offices--listed as a farmer in 1850. He dies before 1860--I think in 1858. His wife's obituary indicates they had seven kids--only five are visible in census data:

Martha J (1847-1919) married J.C. Tate
Enoch Baker (1850 - ?) married to "Calafornia" in 1880
James T (1851-1920) married Easter Keltner
George W (1851-1875) dies in Martha's home
Edward Allen (1855-1924) married Emaline Virginia Clem, then Mary Francis Atkins

Only Martha and Edward (my GGGrandfather) seemed to have children. His wife died in 1894 and is said to be buried in a "Williams Cemetery" that we cannot locate--her obituary indicates it is "south of the city" (Milan, Missouri).

I don't even know what part of Tennessee he was from--her family was from Greene County. Any relevant information would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for Emma Belle Williams who married William Moore and had a daughter named Maude Meredith Moore; Maude married William Smith Hatch in 1906 in Florence or Sheffield, Alabama; I believe Emma Belle and William Moore lived in Nashville TN at the end of their lives. I am looking to see if they connect to my Williams linage who lived in the Colbert County area in Alabama at the same time.

I am descended from Calvin J. Williams, born abt 1828, in Horse Cave, Hart, Kentucky and Amelia (Emily) Page, born about 1832, also in Horse Cave, Hart, Kentucky. This is as far back as I have been able to go because I am told all of the old records in Hart County were buned when the courthouse did. Calvin had a brother named Elijah S. Williams, born about 1832. Calvin and Emily had William Henry, Sarah, Jefferson Davis, John J., Ida Mae. The family migrated between Hart County; Floyd County, Indiana; Henderson, KY; and St. Joseph, Missouri.

My grandfather was James Wesley Williams son of John Lewis Williams. His father was Allen Austin Williams born 1804. His father was "John" who married Anna Wells.
I have notes from the family stating that"The Williams family came from Wales and I descended from a Elizabeth Williams who married Thomas Henderson and their daughter Ann married her cousin Daniel Williams and we descended from them.
I can not make that connection in any genealogy that I have researched.
